A couple of things to bear in mind

• The chicken thigh brand and how much fat is actually trimmed will make the biggest difference to calories and fat. Using chicken breast will reduce calories and fat.

  
  

• If the stock you're using is something like the M&S frozen chicken bone broth, the overall recipe protein could be a little higher depending on the amount of protein in the particular stock.

  
  

• You can add all sorts to this to add in nutrients: Spinach and butterbeans are favourites of mine.

  
  

• Serve with broccoli and 2 tbs of rice and its a perfect nutrient mix for women over 50
